Web IV was the last 5.5 metre of William Eldred Berntsen. The boat was built to participate the KDY 100th Anniversary Jubilee Regatta 1966 (Jubilæumsregatta 1966), the fifth World 5.5 Metre Championship sailed in Copenhagen. This regatta proved to be one of the great races in the class history with 47 entries. The world championship was won by Poul Elvström with Web III D-11 and Berntsen was placed 36th in the final standings. Later Berntsen sailed with this boat the Scandinavian Gold Cup 1966 in Hankö, Coppa d'Italia 1967 in Sandhamn (with dnc), first Europe 5.5 Metre Championship 1968 in Neuchatel, Acapulco Olympics 1968 placing 13th and the Scandinavian Gold Cup 1968 in Sandhamn. Berntsen had four Web named boats #1 (1959), #2 (1960), #3 (1964), #4 (1966) and Firklöver D-7 (1952). With Web II he won Silver medal in Rome Olympics 1960.
